$186 and 3 points

That's what Mr. SUV's attitude cost him. The Waukesha Deputy called me back to let me know that he issued a citation for improperly passing a bike. This is the first citation anyone has issued since I've started using the camera. I honestly was going to ask him nicely to give cyclists more room next time. He gave me attitude, so the Deputy gave him a ticket.It is not nessecarily my goal to get people tickets, but if that's the only way they will understand and follow the law, that's what I'll push for. More thoughts on this later.

Hi Jeff. Great job on the videos! I commute to work everyday and I was wondering if you could provide some detail on the video setup (or post a link). It would be nice to keep the drivers here in STL honest as well. Thanks and be careful.

Hi Jeff . . . I'm full of admiration for the lengths you are going to, using proper procedure and polite interaction, to educate people in your area about what it's really like to be a cyclist on the road and be discriminated against by various motorists. Whether they are ignorant or just plain hateful, you are absolutely doing the right thing to stand up for your rights! Good for you! . . . Dave K.

I have an ATC 2k as well. With a 2 gig memory card you get about 1-2 hours of video. you can make it record longer if you degrade the resolution. The ATC settings are similar to a vcr with video recording quality settings.
